Artistic Tradition
Cambodia is a land steeped in rich artistic tradition. Throughout the centuries, from the great period of Angkor to modern times, Khmer art and theatre, religion and literature have been more than threads of existence - they are a kinetic history of a nation - woven through turmoil and tranquility - and enriched from one generation to the next.
The Arts Lounge is a living space dedicated to the celebration of Cambodia´s rich cultural heritage. It represents a commitment to the country´s dynamic present and offers a laboratory for its creative future.
The thought provoking exhibits pay homage to the Khmer heritage and to the revival of a nation´s arts, culture and people. The Arts Lounge showcases to all the spirit of Cambodian culture in its various forms - both past & present, traditional and contemporary.
Overlooking the urban streetscape or courtyard garden, The Arts Lounge offers an everchanging exhibition space, providing guests and visitors the unique opportunity to contemplate and enjoy selected works in an ambient and thought provoking setting.
Along with supporting Cambodian artists and showcasing original works, The Arts Lounge promotes a borderless exchange of ideas and encourages expression of thought from both international and local sources. Visitors from near and far will take with them new ideas, a deeper understanding of Khmer culture and an appreciation of Khmer heritage with the global context.
Following two decades of unimaginable upheaval resulting in the near total destruction of indigenous culture, Hôtel de la Paix is committed, through The Arts Lounge, to the revival of Khmer arts and cultural life by promoting the preservation, revitalization and expression of Khmer performing arts both locally and internationally.
